New York's congressional delegation continues to fight against a plan to privatize hundreds of maintenance and support jobs at West Point.
Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand say a bill passed by the Senate this week will force the Department of Defense to re-examine privatization studies that carry on for more than three years.
That would include the study that resulted in a plan to privatize about 300 carpentry, plumbing, grounds maintenance and other jobs at West Point.
A House subcommittee has already voted to block Pentagon plans to potentially privatize thousands of civilian jobs at military installations, including West Point military academy.
